"A cell phone that gets the job done"
I wasn't quite impressed by the Samsung SCH-a460. I wasn't disappointed either. This phone is to be classified in the category of good reliable devices with no special or amazing feature, but offered at a low price. For less than $150, the Samsung SCH-A460 will offer voice dial, a reasonable 199 phone book entries, a WAP browser, data connectivity, Predictive text input, GPS positioning (where available), an external LCD, all in a small form factor that weighs 3.4 ounces, which is comfortably below the average.

The pre-set polyphonic ringtones and graphics are nice but limited and downloading is only possible through Sprint's paid Ringers & More service. In a word, it could use more features, but given the low price, the Samsung SCH-A460 is certainly a good option though there might be much better deals in the Sprint PCS line if you are willing to pay just a bit more. But I liked its sleek design, nice yet sober looks and small weight.
